Mi 8 SE can't access recovery mode MI8_8.6.18_v10-8.1

[ortegauriol]

Hello everyone
I guess I need a bit of help.
I was already using a eu rom (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_8.6.18_v10-8.1) and wanted to update to 12.

- I updated the twrp (to twrp-3.4.0-0-xmsirius.img) through PowerShell, also tried the previous release (3.1)
>>./fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img
- went well but when
>>./fastboot.exe boot twrp.img

- But the phones does not boot into recovery mode (goes into a black screen as turn off).
- also tried entering recovery mode with the phone buttons with no success (stays stuck on the mi logo).
Also tried >>./fastboot.exe format cache and also >>./fastboot.exe format userdata with no better results.

Regular boot works fine and still loads miui 10.

Any ideas to try?
help!

many thanks for any input!

Best

Do you have a MI8 or a MI8SE (Sirius)................?????
-Your installed rom is for MI8 and you need to flash a TWRP for MI8.
Correct instruction to boot is:
-fastboot boot and not fastboot.exe boot...
But always better to reboot with power/vol+ combo

Thanks, I did not notice the lack of Sirius on my file, can you actually load the mi8 rom onto a mi8se?

- First I tried again with the right command with no results.

- Then I installed the twrp-3.4.0-0-dipper.img (Mi8) and when try to boot:

>>./fastboot boot twrp.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.733s]
booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')

- Tried the power/vol+ combo and now instead of getting stuck sends me to fastboot and the same with power/vol- combo.

- Tried again with twrp for the MI8SE twrp-3.4.0-0-xmsirius.img and TWRP-3.2.1-0629-XIAOMI8SE
and the results are still the same with the error FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error').

and tried all this with power shell and the regular prompt window.

You messed too much!
Your phone is at brick now.
You must reflash a fastboot rom via Miflash official tool and restart the process to go to twrp install.
DON'T mess up between the two different phone, they are absolutely different!

I don't know
I did the Mi flash installed the Chinese ROM for the MI 8 SE. Unlocked the phone.
Installed the right twrp ( twrp-3.4.0-0-xmsirius.img). Everything looked good
platform-tools> ./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (33576 KB) OKAY [ 0.737s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.158s]
Finished. Total time: 0.912s
PS C:\Users\port970\Desktop\platform-tools> ./fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (33576 KB) OKAY [ 0.716s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.109s]
Finished. Total time: 0.869s

but again got the same results as in the first post

- But the phones does not boot into recovery mode (goes into a black screen as turn off).
- also tried entering recovery mode with the phone buttons with no success (stays stuck on the mi logo).
Also tried >>./fastboot.exe format cache and also >>./fastboot.exe format userdata with no better results.

I'm not that experienced with phones, but I understand what I'm doing, and don't see why this will ended up with the same result

Any input is much appreciated!!! Thanks

fastboot.exe IS NOT a good instruction! .exe is for Windows application.
What you have done is good.
Now try in fastboot mode (power/vol-) :
./fastboot boot twrp.img
it should boot in twrp after some time to wait (20 seconds or more)
then
./fastboot boot recovery
It should boot internal recovery, if any
if no boot reflash twrp
and tell me.

when you reboot recovery it can take 1 mn at MIUI logo!
